RONIN
THE DARK STAR
"Yeah?" Ronin smiles sweetly, the Lullaby's words having exactly the desired effect; even the admission about how difficult and easy his love was making this can't wipe it away. "I know it does," he says, and although his tone is soft and loving, there's a small part of him that can't help but think that his love is the perfect sort of punishment for something like this, in that case.
Tilting his head, he isn't sure he understands the other man. "I already attacked you with my projection," he says slowly. "Surely I would just need to do it again, once mine can go farther?" Of the alchemist's second point, though, Ronin can only glance away and shrug his shoulders. It's a complicated knot of emotion that has thunder growling overhead again. "She could ask at any time," he points out. It wouldn't have to be for a quest.
Oh, but then twins happens, and the rain that falls overhead is black and thick as oil, making the Star's eyes seem all the more steely for its darkness. "Of course they do," he whispers. Which is better than saying Oh good, a spare.

now don’t you lose hope
I swear I never dream that we’re alone
I swear I still believe but I don’t know
